Amen. It would probably be cheaper for me to just stay home.

Just an update, i finally got the car running after pretty much walking away from it. The distributor was off. I must have stabbed that thing 50 times in every possible orientation. Idk how it took so long to get it right. Anyway the car was running AMAZING i couldnt beleive it. but i got 5...

Maybe I'll take off the valve cover and make another video to confirm. What was that buzzing noise i kept hearing in the first video?

Well i have the clamp loosened up because i was messing with it. Balancer is on zero and piston 1 is at the top of its stroke. How do i confirm if this is the compression or exhaust stroke? I guess it shouldnt come up again if i want the compression stroke

Heres a video of what im talking about. The distributor can be installed in any direction. I also hear a buzzing noise when i spin the dizzy. 1989 corvette distributor confusion - YouTube

Problem is that the distributor will turn without the rotor. I could point the rotor at cyl 1 and still spin the distributor all over the place while keeping the rotor there. I was hoping somebody could confirm that the distributor appears to be in the same position as theirs. Ive tried every...

So my car hasnt been running for a few weeks and ive desperately tried to solve the problem with no luck. You can see what ive been dealing with in my other threads but no i am just trying to back track. Is this distributor installed 180* out? heres the other thread...

I did it again and got 15-16 ohms on each injector. On the injector plugs, however, i got 18 ohms on the driver side plugs and 32 ohms on the passenger side plugs. I have no idea what any of this information means.

New timing chain and gears, even a new water pump because i was in there. Car is re assembled and i replaced the ecm under the dash. Switched in the old prom. STILL NO START. does the EXACT same thing. Just occasional pops through the intake. I also realized that somebody has replaced this...

Yes spark has been verified with a test light and i can remove the plugs and watch then arc agaisnt the valve cover.

how do I test the maf? I don't want to just throw a 200 dollar sensor at it. then again im deep enough that it doesn't really matter. the timing cover is still off so when the new timing set shows up I will re assemble and test maf.

that was motor off. it held the pressure for quite some time. I walked away for probably 10-15 minutes and it stayed pegged.

so about 2 weeks ago my car stopped running on my way home from autocross. it has not run since. BEFORE it stopped running I did a thorough tune up: new plugs, new wires, new cap/coil combo, new rotor, new pcv valve, and new air filter I thought this was a distributor problem so I replaced...
